Patch 1: separate socket lookup from locked packet processing. Patch 2: keep one socket lock across a bounded run of established STREAM/RW packets for the same native socket. Patch 3: reuse the locked socket for later packets with the same address tuple. Patch 4: coalesce default write-space notifications while that lock is held. Patch 5: defer the default readable callback until after the batch unlocks. Custom callbacks retain per-packet notification behavior. Performance: Tested on single-stream AF_VSOCK (1 reader on Guest CPU0, virtio-vsock IRQ on Guest CPU1, fresh QEMU guest per state, 16 balanced AB/BA pairs per payload).
